Description of problem:

Hi there

We are using httpd as a reverse proxy, and have been hit by the bug referenced
within Apache's bugtracker as

http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=15207
also
http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=34688

Supposedly it was fixed in 2.0.55 back in 2005?

Basically if you are using Apache as a RP, it "double-unescapes"
percent-encodings and ends up with an invalid URL

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

httpd-2.0.52

How reproducible:

always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. set up RP section via ProxyPass/ProxyPassReverse e.g

ProxyPass /test http://other.server/test/

2. download "rp.server/test/hel%20l%20o.txt - works (i.e. backend server 
   response)
3. download rp.srver/test/hel%20l%25o.txt - RP gives 400 error instead of
 passing back to backend server


  
Actual results:


Expected results:
